Johnny Knoxville has survived being shot out of a cannon and a motorcycle falling down onto his crotch, but when it came to his recent stunt with a bull, the 50-year-old daredevil faced some life-changing firsts. In a new sit-down with Howard Stern, the action star, who is set to appear in the newest installment of the franchise in February, recalled the intense aftermath of being hit by a bull in the upcoming film, . «The bull hit was the worst hit I've ever taken from a bull or maybe period,» he told Stern. Knoxville had the injuries to prove it: a broken wrist, broken ribs and brain injury. «I got a brain hemorrhage from that, so my cognitive abilities were in steep decline after that hit,» he said.
While he's able to laugh at himself now, it wasn't a joking matter at the time. For one, he had scored a 17 out of 100 on a test for paying attention. A post shared by Johnny Knoxville (@johnnyknoxville)«I had to go under all these type of treatments, this transcranial magnetic stimulation, which they buzz your head with these magnets for about 30 minutes at a time for like, oh God, I would say 10 to 12 treatments over a series of two months and it's supposed to help with depression and, you know, help with my cognitive skills, so it was a tough one to come back from,» Knoxville recalled. «I was trying to edit the movie at the time, but I couldn’t sit still.»Knoxville also slipped into depression, something he said hadn't happened to him before. “My brain was just playing tricks on me.
I got really depressed and over-focused on things," he told Stern. «I did have to start medication for the first time in my life...It completely turned me around -- that and, you know, doing therapy.
